2017: General Discussion

[PeteB]

Surely a missed opportunity to bring out the remaining members of Phalanx on patrol. One would cower in fright when shouted at by a teenager from Stoke-on-Trent in military gear.

Correction... in paintball gear.

I think merlin better worry about getting their rides working as much as all this security on the family theme park holiday this week. Saw, stealth and collosus down for long periods. At chessington no rattlesnake and gruffalo closed for long periods. Today at legoland and vikings splash ride down and mias lego friends ride down. What's going on? ?

I've moved a large number of posts from here relating to security at parks/other places into a new thread in Corner Coffee. Although some of it is relevant to Alton Towers, it is a large enough topic in itself to warrant its own thread!

noticed on queue times that Galactica has been unavailable again today, anyone been on park?

 

[themeparkfan]

On and off today. Just been stuck at top of Hill lift with staff reassuring riders but restarted. However I bet it will be closed for the rest of the day.

Damn, hope they sort it visiting on Monday and taking two friends who have never been before.

I'm prob way behind the times. Are they now playing the full soundtrack around park. I'm sure there are parts I have not heard before.
Love it

Yeah I think it's the full soundtrack now playing everywhere, there's a clip of it on TS FB.

Why would they need more Hex staff ? Very odd

 

[Jonathan]

Erm, I think Hex is probably the name of one of the rooms in the conference centre.

Oh wise NooNoo I think you may be correct

Eh, it has been known for that to happen on occasion.

Are we seeing the demise of Enterprise, noticed recently alterations to the ride mean it no longer raises to a vertical.

It had a spell of doing that in 2015

Never been on Enterprise myself, it looks a little stomach churning for me. I did, however, notice last week that the top of the ride appears to be covered in what looked like a lot of rust. Didn't look good at all.

Just as bad as Zodiac now, I read or heard somewhere that Zodiac was changed to 70degree lift due to H&S .
who knows, probably trying to save wear and tear and eak out a few more months of life from it

A few weeks ago they seemed to have issues with enterprise. tech services were there for 2 or 3 hours

For a Saturday in June, it was sad to see the park very quiet today.

I'm going in a couple of weeks time (24th). Do you think it will still be that quiet?
